I have made these friends-
Invisible and silent
With no shadows to cast
No flesh to carry.
The walls are empty
the rooms barren
Like a winter in the desert
I find solace in the most quiet of things.
I have broken all my possesions
and scattered their bones
among the invisble friends
and dirty clothes
and torn up sheets.
I am no longer a girl.
I am particles;
molecules;
atoms
Fractured monuments littered the side street alleyways
and hidden driveways
Decaying before no one, waiting for the ground to swell
and devour them whole.
Policemen dug up the soil on the median
looking for the murder weapon
The senseless knife held by an unclean hand
that bit a woman's flesh away
Silently
one night.
Bird's slipped away
below the treetops and the telephone wires
Crumbled upon the hoods of cars and dumpsters
The air bent and broke
bursting all our lungs.
An apprehensiveness consumed me
I was aware then
that I was outrun

This is What You are Now
I felt something die inside of me
eight hours into it
And I could no longer speak
The roots snuck up through the tiles
pulling up the cement and the earth
Ripping at my clothes and tearing my skin
And I could be so much more than this
But I am a dead tree
I'm being cut down for firewood
to keep your family warm
to watch my family die
I'm a sick, tearful, endless thing
wasting away like those other trees
infected with the virus
from wherever
They promised not to
they promised they would
they felt uncertain
cold
needy
greedy
i am done for.
I'm seeing ocean waves
dancing among the driftwood walls
the fireplace
the mantle
the painting
the pottery
and the photographs
I'm feeling the fire
licking at my feet
like little devil tongues
warming me
and freezing my lungs
with soot
I started smoking once
but no one ever found the flame
He has been bitten right down to the bone
her red mouth cries into another drink
and she'll throw all the things she has ever loved
and he'll suck down the drink that she has made for him
Fall has bugun to fall again
it's gotten more bitter and more desperate
Snow comes down and the earth gets heavy,
swollen, full, and cold
And you could see it all then
the dying like a burning, coiling polaroid
color bleeding from its face
I could be cryptic
I could be blunt
I could be anything
And you would still be you
I hear it's lovely there
this time of year
I hear the temperature is
always nice and warm
I hear it's only bad
if you've only known good
this concrete slab in the center of my house
in the center of my universe
is making me apprehensive.
i'm fat with fruits and breads and teas
and i'm exploding from my seams.
the world is frightening and rippling
with worry and uneasiness
and sickening, shakey air waves.
unbreathing, unthinking, unmoving
me.
i'm sitting under flourecent lights,
like always,
decaying and being slammed into the floor tiles
by the incessant smacking and chewing of gum
by the ugly mother fucker next to me.
i'm taking a test
on neurons and temporal lobes
and central nervous systems
and psychology that i desperately
need to understand.

The Human is a buisness man in a suit and tie
He never takes time for anything too meaningful
He never steps out of reality, even for a second
Not even into his own intelligence or imagination.
The weather patterns and news casts and internet forums
all attract the Human, and the Human doesn't know the truth
anymore
And he his successful, and feigns intellect, and poise,
but has nothing backing up his silicon hard-drive of a brain
He is adventure-less and his house smells like vinegar and
the piss he leaves lying around in old pop bottles
He sweats alcohol and cigarettes and prescription pills
The Human can never cope with a loss

If you could see inside my mind, you would hate me
Most mornings, I wake up alone. My bed is empty, long enough that the sweet scent of clean hair and warm skin has gone, leaving me with a slowly rotating ceiling fan and the echo of ticking clocks. She is already gone, and I have no where to be but alone. It is winter here, in the state that refuses to die. Winter in Detroit is like a test from God, seeing how much hell you can handle, how much disappointment can you take. Eventually, you learn to swallow that shame with the rest of it. Winter light is a stark painful thing that creeps it's icy fingers through my blinds and bleaches my yellow walls the color of corpses. Every color slowly ble

And the stars close their eyes
The air here is thick and heavy and I feel drunk but I am not. I am tired and lonely and drowning in the dark of another day I cannot force myself to handle. There are hands at my throat and, I swear, the promises I swallowed are making deals with the devil and drilling through my esophagus, escaping my body like the smoke in my lungs.
The sun sets, and somehow, I forget what I'm trying so hard for, anyway.
My bed does not like me anymore, and scoffs at my attempts to sleep, rejecting me in the early hours when the clock sighs 2:14 and the house greets me with familiar creaks. And the fading woman with shaking hands whispers lullabies throu

When the walls fall quiet.
Rain makes me want to write to you,
to tell you the things I should have said five months ago,
five years ago,
when we were younger and weaker and it didn't hurt so much to breathe.
We weren't happy even then, and I was too young to know the difference.
Do you ever think we're growing up too fast?
When we're smoking behind stores
and drinking to sleep
and buying drugs from the boys who tried to love me
but got burned along the way.
They don't know we're still children, and neither do we.
We drive too fast and talk too much and drink until we die,
but god, tonight I do not want to die.
Tonight I do not want to fall asle

The Wolf in the Sea
Sitting on a bench by the sea
Waves are crashing on rocks below
The temperature is down to twenty-three
Too cold for fingers to stitch or sew
And I think: the icy water is grey as a wolf's fur
And both wait in the cold to take their sacrifice
Sharp teeth or pounding waves shall need no more
With their many bodies that should suffice
The wolf's and the sea's insatiable hunger craves
For but one more life to pull into their black caves
A life that is pure and has had no taint
A newborn infant, dies and its mother feels faint
The air tastes different when I don't
have to breathe through the panic,
through the stress, and the paper cuts
begin to heal when the trees are green
and I can move past goose bumps and
tired skin. Winter feels like a distant lie
someone told me when I was young and
the season is a wet blur of green and
brown and concrete. But I am soaring
and I am sleeping, and she is two
thousands miles away, watching as I flee,
as I fade.
She holds the sun in her fingertips, and
the warmth here dulls in comparison to
the thought of her touch, her glow. I've
lived my life in small intervals b
Mornings with you taste golden, like
that dawn we escaped together to
watch the sun rise from the asphalt
and burn its way down the road. And
we sat like sparrows above the dotted
yellow lines, waiting while the world
drove by and your face glowed hazel
and copper and hope. In the mornings,
when we share stories and wishes and
body heat, you feel more real to me
than anything I've ever read about,
than anything I've ever seen.
Mornings with you are hazy smiles and
soft eye lashes, like every morning I've
laid in your bed watching the dust ride
through the air on beams of light, not
having to do anything more than

Today fucking sucks.
It's funny how within ten minutes my day went to shit.
I hate people. And I hate coming back to deviant art to shitty comments. and I hate when people who sell you computers lie to you.
God Damn it.
I hate being frustrated. And I don't feel like writing on a different account. So I'm gonna write here.
